Good job, Mike.

From the Porsche owners of the area, we salute you.

Edited to say the other thread mentions you've got someone in custody, marvellous, time for a be-heading.

You cant beat tracking systems as a security device , nobody is in the know that its there untill they get surrounded by plod . i have done service calls on some units that were fitted in shockingly easy places to find . 9/10 times even the customer dosent know where its fitted

[silverback mike]

Cant take the credit boys. Twas the tracker that activated, tracker HQ boosted the signal and bingo, easy really, especially when pointed from the helicopter.

Makes you wonder why on earth car manufacturers don't fit them as included in the warranty.

Free for 3 years, then you have to pay from there on. Would make sense wouldn't it. I know if I could afford a decent car, I wouldn't mind going without a decent stereo so that a tracker was fitted.

Cemented my view that it is a good system, strangely not fool proof as we are still looking for another car from the same job.

Well played Silverback! Hope the scrote driving it fell down the two flights of stairs in the back of the patrol car..

Mike likes a bit of reasonable force!

Surely you would have to go to Liverpool to achieve that particular result?

Well done.

That's a little worrying, I'd always been of the belief that Tracker equipped car's were almost always traced and ideally with some scumbag thief behind the wheel begging for a little time at HMP. What kind of % hit rate are we talking about?

Trackers cannot overcome the 'Faraday's cage' principle, in that if you surround a electro-magnetic emission with iron (even chicken wire)then no signal will escape. So parking a car in a 32ft metal container, will silence a tracker.

That may be true with satellite-based systems, but wouldn't radio-based ones be less affected by being in a metal container?

There was never a peep from my last M3 when sit was nicked. It had Tracker Monitor which is supposed to alert them when the car is moved without the keys (it was taken on or in a truck), but that didn't work. Tracker also found no trace of the car thereafter.

Good result catching the thief, but to be honest if my car was nicked I wouldn't want it back.
